Small town and people love to gossip. He slid into a friend's Facebook DMs drunk and tried hitting on them, then proceeded to overshare his entire life apparently. Friend showed me the screens they saved in case they need to go nuclear. I have tons of stories of my town's depravity like this, but this one is by far the most horrifying. Makes me weep knowing that every place has crap like this brewing under the surface that we never hear about, at least with the degenerates on Reddit we don't have to interact with them daily.

Whenever people talk about newspeak and how TikTok lingo is dumbing down the population, there's always a troublingly large amount of people who insist that it's not a big deal.

Ehhhh, thing is, at least in that first post, they are actually correct. The thing in 1984 was that they reduced the number and complexity of words in an effort to reduce people's ability to specifically name and express the feelings and thoughts they had. I also very much dislike the nu-speak, but not because it's literally jorjorwell's nineteen eighty-four, but because of a thing described by a comedian that a lot of people on this website seem to despise, George Carlin, and Soft Language.

For those who haven't seen the routine, he describes the process by which words are created, sharp, meaningful, and to the point. Honest words, and how that honesty and bluntness is slowly chipped away at and obfuscated until they become medicalized, pathologized, meaningless, soulless, emotionless jargon. His primary example is the progression from:
Shell Shock -> Combat Fatigue -> Operational Exhaustion -> Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder -> PTSD

Other such examples include:
Crippled -> Physically Challenged
Poor -> Financially Disadvantaged
Old People -> Senior Citizens

I find this to be a much more compelling argument for why these euphemistic words and phrases are so hostile to our culture. Words are often created to avoid censorship and repression, but these ones in particular are soft, childish, slang-y. "Sewerslide" loses the gravitas that comes from the word, "Suicide", and makes it sound like something a kid would say to avoid upsetting his teacher or parents. Same thing with "Unalive", in place of "Death", "Murder", or as well, "Suicide". "PDF" is much softer and less upsetting than "Child Rapist". It's not the creation of new words that is wrong, but the nature of these words coming from a place of influencer, streaming, and short-form online content culture, and because of the way these words refer to such heavy topics, it comes off as disrespectful, stupid, and cringy.

I think Winston Churchill had a good mentality about it, here's an excerpt from an article by globalsecurity.org:
'1. Operations in which large numbers of men may lose their lives ought not to be described by code words which imply a boastful or overconfident sentiment,. . . or, conversely, which are calculated to invest the plan with an air of despondency. . . . They ought not to be names of a frivolous character. . . . They should not be ordinary words often used in other connections. . . . Names of living people--Ministers and Commanders--should be avoided. . . .'
'2. After all, the world is wide, and intelligent thought will readily supply an unlimited number of well-sounding names which do not suggest the character of the operation or disparage it in any way and do not enable some widow or mother to say that her son was killed in an operation called "Bunnyhug" or "Ballyhoo."'

Borrowing a page from the Germans of World War I, whose code-naming practices he knew well from writing his four-volume history of that war, Churchill saw the names of culturally significant figures as useful sources of operational code words:
'3. Proper names are good in this field. The heroes of antiquity, figures from Greek and Roman mythology, the constellations and stars, famous racehorses, names of British and American war heroes, could be used, provided they fall within the rules above.'

On another note, I'm really not a "Blame the kids" type, every generation creates new slang and most of it doesn't stick around. Every generation has its examples of vapid, stupid nonsense that is peddled to children of its cohort, and every generation gets blamed for liking it, when in fact all of that garbage culture was created and advertised to those children by the previous generations. It was done to us, and it was done to our parents, so why are we doing it to the next generation?

There's an outbreak of vile antisemitism on reddit about the evolutionarily challenged Israeli settler (L | A). (This is a real image BTW, as verified by our own CTR). (source L'Expresso | A)

"The Mexican Renaissance brought members of the nation’s bohemian circles together. Many were commissioned by the country’s centralized education and anthropology sectors in the aftermath of the revolution to enunciate a new Mexican narrative, or perhaps more accurately, to produce a narrative of the new Mexican. At times, these culture makers and activists were also members of Mexico’s Communist Party, as well as artists whose work was commissioned internationally. Some, such as David Siqueiros (Jewish), José Clemente Orozco and Diego Rivera (Jewish), formed part of the Latino and Caribbean art movement in New York that thrived between 1900 and 1942" ....Jews creating Mexicos "new Mexican". Very kind of them.

This sheds some light on how Mexico became a heaven for spanish commies that escaped Franco.

Someone desperately searching for a plus-size costume of everyone's favorite $600 Genshin Impact homewrecker. It apparently has to be this particular mass produced Chinese costume, which will probably rip as soon as she pours herself into it because Chinese XL size is not going to fit an American hamplanet.

Her comments are strangely all downvoted and at the bottom she gets into a little spat because apparently just posting this unleashed swarms of scam bots messaging her. Or possibly cosplay creators offering to make her something she can actually wear, which is not appreciated because her heart is set solely on this product of factory child labor.

Truly a nightmarish humiliation ritual she's putting herself through, but judging from how she talks she absolutely deserves to suffer.
